With the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup semifinal just around the corner, Real Madrid wrapped up its final training session in Florida on Tuesday before heading to New Jersey. Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos are preparing to face a formidable Paris Saint-Germain side, and they'll do so with a key defensive absence.

How Did Real Madrid Train Ahead of the PSG Clash?

The session was held at The Gardens at North County District Park in Palm Beach, where the team has been based for nearly a month. Training began in the gym and later moved to the pitch, with a clear focus on high pressing and ball progression from the back—two tactical pillars of Xabi Alonso’s playing style.

Which Players Trained Separately?

The club reported that Endrick and David Alaba worked individually. Their availability for the semifinal remains uncertain, casting doubt just hours before the showdown against PSG.

Who Will Miss the Semifinal for Madrid?

Dean Huijsen, one of the breakout performers of the tournament, is suspended after receiving a red card in the quarterfinal win over Borussia Dortmund. His absence forces Alonso to rethink his backline ahead of what is arguably Real Madrid’s most challenging test yet in the tournament.

What’s Next on the Schedule?

Real Madrid will travel to New Jersey later today. Xabi Alonso is scheduled to hold a press conference at 7:45 PM (local time) at MetLife Stadium, the venue for the highly anticipated semifinal match against Paris Saint-Germain, which kicks off Wednesday at 3:00 PM (ET).
